Break It Down

April 4, 2018April 4, 2018 Eric HankinsLeave a comment

We've heard it before. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Laozi This well known piece of wisdom is simple in concept but difficult in execution. Gary Vaynerchuck says, "There are so many great ideas...There are way less great executions." Something breaks down between the idea and the execution. Thousand [...]

It Seems Obvious

March 27, 2018March 27, 2018 Eric HankinsLeave a comment

Yes, there is truth. There is a better way of doing things. Things are not right and something needs to be done. You see it. It seems obvious. And yet, there are people who disagree. They stand in opposition to the good you’d like to see accomplished in the world. They just don’t get it. [...]

There Was Something

March 1, 2018March 1, 2018 Eric HankinsLeave a comment

The Bible calls it God. He spoke. He created. He brought existence into existence. And then he breathed into humanity the same ability. We [...]

I met a man at church a couple weeks ago. During our meet-and-greet, he was sitting alone so my wife and I introduced ourselves. After some brief pleasantries, we asked what plans he had for the rest of the day. He told us he didn’t know. He was just struggling to get through service. He [...]

The Bible as Art

November 30, 2017January 2, 2018 Eric HankinsLeave a comment

Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible. – Paul Klee  Art doesn’t attempt to quantify. It isn’t always literal or accurate. It isn’t explicit. It can be.
